FYI, Yesterday's Slashdot had an article about Linux compiler benchmarks from Coyote Gulch (Scott Ladd). In this update he compares GCC and ICC. You can read the article here: http://www.coyotegulch.com/reviews/linux_compilers/ Of particular note was his use of SciMark 2.0 which is a NIST developed benchmark for scientific computing. Its available in both java and C and computes a MFLOPS number. It would be good to include this in our test suite if we can (hint, hint, John). You can find it here: http://math.nist.gov/scimark2/index.html Reid. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Seems to compile right out of the box. I like that. :) Reid, do you know the licensing of this benchmark? I can't find any in the code or on the website? -- John T. -- ********************************************************************* * John T.

I couldn't find the licensing either. Its probably "public domain" but you might want to email NIST and ask. Reid.
